Traffic jams(Bug or somrthing else)

[natahn87]

when i played at least 1 hour on a map(London mod & LA mod), traffic usually stops at some traffic signals forever, causing huge pileups behind. Using the police to redirect them is not possible as the traffic didn't even respond...This makes it quite unplayable since they block the emergency services and once they even piled up infront of my fire station...

I thought of two reasons causing this, either a game/map bug or not enough ram/gpu stuff (yes i'm using a potato to run the game). I want to know if someone else had faced this issue before, and knows the reason.

While i got a weird solution for this, and successful avoided this from happening, which is to block all traffic entrances at the beginning of the game. Not letting extra ai traffic coming into the playing area seems working, but instead increased the spawn of pedestrains...XD

Hello Natahn,

From what i can see in yourscreenshot (https://imgur.com/a/ORaCSlF) there is a huge crowd of pedestrains blocking the bus from going thru the intersection causing a huge backup in traffic.

Yep, and seems that the traffic lights aren't working or what, in this situation the bus can be redirected...i'll add some more photos soon (i always forgot to screenshot

I have this same issue, playing long enough to the point where traffic doesn't respond, even to police redirecting.

While SWAT is right about the pedestrians, the traffic is just something that EM4 does after a while of playing freeplay. I haven't seen any fixes for it.

I just blow up the bus and tow it away that works for me unless there is a map break (park of the map not connected)

@SWAT that's an interesting method XD, turns out that blocking all traffic entrances is an effective or the best method...

Yep, a more permanent method is going to the map editor and manually deleting all of the traffic routes on the freeplay map.

I start the free play map by blocking the roads that feed traffic into the map. Problem solved :)
